Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

The five of them are now just waiting for Ning Rongrong to give them a signal before they can go up and make the master as good as dead.

As for why it was Ning Rongrong...

That's because Ning Rongrong is the strongest, and she's usually quite nice to them, at least better than Grandmaster.

"What are you doing? Why are you still here? Are you trying to challenge my authority?"

The master finally sensed something was wrong, put on an air of superiority, and addressed the crowd.

Anyone with eyes could see that this was a case of resorting to force when they couldn't win an argument. It was infuriating that the identities of those present were rather weak: the fallen Star Luo royal family, the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School living alone, and the soul beasts… none of them held real power.

The only one who came close to having real power was Ning Rongrong.

The crowd gritted their teeth and ignored the master's words.

Finally, a voice broke the deadlock. Everyone looked over and saw that Ning Rongrong had made her move.

"authority?"

Ning Rongrong chuckled softly, a clear laugh that carried a chilling undertone.

“Yu Xiaogang, ‘Master’?” She emphasized the word “Master”. “Is your authority built on blatant lying and making unwarranted comments about a power you don’t understand and can never reach? Do you need me to reveal your background? Hmm… it’s from when you awakened half a level of soul power, when you consumed all the resources in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that could have nurtured several geniuses, when you were almost 50 years old before breaking through to level 29, and still unable to break through to level 30, to those trivial matters that happened with Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, to… oh dear, sorry, I’ve already told you.”

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

"You!" Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale, his pupils contracting sharply. Half-level innate soul power, Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong—these were his deepest secrets and fears! How could she know? How could she possibly know so much?!

Yes, the Holy Spirit Cult! The Holy Spirit Cult must have this information. Since the Holy Spirit Cult even has information on martial spirit evolution, then his information is even more abundant.

Then, the chattering of the crowd reached Yu Xiaogang's ears.

"Hey, you didn't expect that, did you? Our Rongrong doesn't take pressure."

"Half-level innate soul power? There really are people like that? And they don't even realize it, just living off the sect's resources?"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, isn't that one of the top three sects alongside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Tsk tsk, I didn't expect them to produce such a terrible person. Why can't they learn from Ning Rongrong? Oh, no, they can't. Grandmaster is only level 29 and is almost 50 years old—"

"That Bibi Dong, isn't she the Pope of the Spirit Hall? And who is that Liu Erlong?"

"Enough!" the master shouted angrily, stunning the group.

But Ning Rongrong's pursuit continued.

The master's performance disappointed her. She approached Yu Xiaogang and circled him a few times.

"You, a 'theoretical master' who isn't even level 30, are standing here pointing fingers at me—someone who just defeated six elite peers head-on without a scratch, including the genius Tang San you mentioned—and judging my combat skills? Tell me, how many times have you actually fought? Have you ever defeated an opponent with a higher soul power than you? Have your theories ever been successful even once on your own?"

Yu Xiaogang's face grew even paler. He swayed, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word. Because what Ning Rongrong said was basically true.

However, Ning Rongrong's pursuit did not stop there. She had somehow gotten close to Yu Xiaogang's ear and whispered, "I've really given you a lot of face, Eighth Elder, no, Preferred Elder. And don't think I'm completely unaware of what you instructed Tang San to do."

Yu Xiaogang collapsed to the ground with a "whoosh," his face pale, staring at Ning Rongrong in terror, his body occasionally shifting backward.

Damn it, the assassination plan has been exposed!

"Oh dear, you've fallen to the ground. Do you need me to help you up?"

Ning Rongrong stretched out her hand, unintentionally revealing the token that symbolized her status as one of the Seven Elders of the Holy Spirit Cult.

At the same time, she added softly:

"You were just trying to intimidate me, weren't you? But have you forgotten that the power I represent is greater than you think? Don't you realize your place?"

Chapter 64 The Highest Respect

Yu Xiaogang could naturally see the token that Ning Rongrong had "unintentionally" revealed.

Now, his mind is completely empty.

He did want to outdo Ning Rongrong. He thought that since Ning Rongrong was at Shrek Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would naturally approve. In this way, the teacher could discipline the student without having to worry about what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School thought.

But during that period of time, he actually forgot that Ning Rongrong was an elder of the Holy Spirit Cult. How could he forget such an important thing?

Although he doesn't usually participate in the sect's activities, his few interactions with the Holy Spirit Sect were when he retrieved the Holy Spirit Sect's information, found the method for martial soul evolution, and traced the clues back to the Seventh Elder, who is the girl in front of him.

But he also knew that there was a huge gap between an elder and a prospective elder, and as long as he was still a prospective elder, he could not sit at the table to eat.

It seems he has offended Ning Rongrong.

It's over, it's over.

Ning Rongrong looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was slumped on the ground, his eyes lifeless as if he had lost all hope, straightened up, and clicked her tongue in disgust:

"Is that all?"

"Rongrong, you are not allowed to be rude to your teacher! Quickly accept the teacher's punishment!"

Seeing his beloved teacher being so oppressed by Ning Rongrong, Tang San stepped forward and said.

"Oh?" Ning Rongrong turned her head to look at Tang San.

Tang San looked at Ning Rongrong's cold gaze and couldn't help but take a step back.

He had a chilling feeling.

But upon closer examination, it's clear that it wasn't just Ning Rongrong who brought it.

Tang San turned his head and found that the other five people were all looking at him angrily, without him noticing.

"What's wrong? Did I say anything wrong? Isn't it only natural to listen to the teacher? Xiao Wu, what do you think?"

He defended himself.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's expression shifted slightly, and she said, "Third Brother...you..."

Then she shook her head in disappointment, without finishing her sentence.

On the contrary, when Grandmaster realized that Tang San was still speaking up for him, he found courage from who knows where, and the flame of hope burned again in his eyes.

No, it's not necessarily over.

If the Seventh Elder is determined to destroy him, then he will fight to the death to leave an indelible impression on the Seventh Elder.

If I were to destroy the Seventh Elder's dignity right here and now, wouldn't my life have been worthwhile?

Since we're doomed either way, we might as well go all out and take a gamble.

So he stood up, and while Ning Rongrong's attention was still focused on Tang San, he walked over and shoved her hard.

Ning Rongrong stared at him in disbelief, clearly not expecting Yu Xiaogang to change his attitude so quickly. One second he seemed about to admit defeat, and the next he was fighting back. If she hadn't been physically stronger than Yu Xiaogang and hadn't reacted in time, she would have fallen to the ground.

Well, very well. Since the master has treated her this way, she should repay him with the highest respect in this free and open game.

Bring up the game panel, save the game, and return to the game. Saving the game is to prevent her subsequent actions from destroying the save file.

Although this kind of game has a very high degree of freedom, you can kill NPCs at will, and if you want, wiping out an entire village is not a problem.

However, Lu Ma generally doesn't do that. He only kills when the other person is trying to kill him and he's retaliating, or when he genuinely dislikes that person. Killing, in Lu Ma's self-proclaimed form, is "the highest form of respect for NPCs"—congratulations, you've successfully disgusted me.

The master met his standards.

Ning Rongrong's eyes turned fierce, a bright purple light flashed in her hand, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared, and her four soul rings lit up.

The first four levels of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda began to emit normal light. Although the first level had previously emitted purple light, it had now switched back to a multicolored light. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda flashed, and in the next instant, a huge phantom of the pagoda appeared above Yu Xiaogang's head, pressing down on him, while Ning Rongrong walked step by step towards Yu Xiaogang.

The Shrek members stood there, stunned, unsure of what to say.

When did Ning Rongrong break through level 40? Or what is this soul skill?

That was Ning Rongrong activating her fourth soul skill, Seven Treasures Suppression.

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed. He felt his soul power being suppressed so intensely that he couldn't even summon his martial soul anymore.

More importantly, he felt that the pagoda-like phantom was pressing down while simultaneously launching invisible attacks downwards. His gradually tearing clothes and the wounds that appeared were the best proof of this.

"Master, run!" Tang San reacted, turning and rushing towards Yu Xiaogang. He didn't recognize the move either, nor could he see Ning Rongrong's attack. He had no time to consider what would happen to him if Ning Rongrong used this move during his assassination attempt, but judging from the speed at which the master's wounds were appearing, if the master didn't run, he would surely die. The pagoda wasn't falling fast; he figured any normal person could run away by now. The master wasn't running because he was terrified… Could it be that the master had also been hit by a mental attack?

The master realized what Tang San meant. However, he froze as soon as he was about to take a step, then stiffly turned his head and looked at Tang San with a miserable expression.

Was it that he didn't want to run away? No, it was that he couldn't!

Beneath this pagoda, he had no chance to escape. His soul power was severely suppressed, along with his mental strength and physical abilities.

Right now, he can't even take a step!

It's over, it's completely over. I shouldn't have had that idea. Showing weakness and siding with the Seventh Elder seemed like an option, but now, there's really no hope left.

Restricting movement is a part not mentioned in the description of the Seven Treasures Suppression Soul Skill, but Ning Rongrong's soul knows this.

Under the Seven Treasures Suppression, if one's physical fitness is insufficient, one cannot leave the suppression area. As for what level of physical fitness is considered sufficient, Ning Rongrong, who had been trained by the Silver Dragon King, did not know. Perhaps, one would need to have twice the physical fitness of hers, that is, reach level 62, to be able to escape.

But whatever the standard may be, the master clearly did not reach it.

"It seems you still haven't recognized your place," Ning Rongrong's icy voice rang in his ear.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's back was experiencing a strange movement. Then, eight huge silver spider spears pierced through Ning Rongrong's skin, through her elegant black clothing, and were exposed to the air.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang both had their pupils shrink.

"Eight...Eight Spider Spears..."

Tang San had only seen this thing in his dreams and had never actually seen it in reality, and the Grandmaster had only heard Tang San describe it but had never seen it in person either. As for Ning Rongrong stealing Tang San's opportunity, that was all made up by Yu Xiaogang.

Unexpectedly, this thing that only existed in their imagination actually appeared.

Although their appearances are somewhat different, their powerful aura is unmistakable; it is none other than the "Eight Spider Lances" they have been dreaming of!

"It actually exists." Tang San couldn't help but stop and look at the sharp spear behind Ning Rongrong.

He touched his back. What if, what if, it really was Ning Rongrong who stole his opportunity?

Tang San's heart began to waver, and his previous doubts deepened further.

"Hey mistress, what are you doing? Come save me!" the master shouted frantically.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Because he saw that Ning Rongrong simply flicked her finger, and a silver-white spear pierced his body. The deadly poison and nerve-paralyzing toxins spread throughout his body, and he even felt his consciousness becoming somewhat unclear.

The next instant, the attack of the Eight Spider Lances came down. This strike slashed down along Yu Xiaogang's neck.

"thump……"
